[Verse 1]
Quiet steps on empty roads,
Shadows long in twilight’s glow.
Every mile, every sigh,
Carrying lifetimes as I go.
Ashes cling to worn-out hands,
Haunted by the life I’ve lost.
But then your laughter calls me home,
A fire found in winter’s frost.
---
[Chorus]
Embers at dusk, a flicker in the night,
You found the ghost the world let die.
Soft as the dawn, small as a spark,
You keep the cold from my heart.
---
[Verse 2]
Stories told beside the flame,
You braid my hair, you speak my name.
Each gentle word, a world apart—
But you don’t flinch from all my scars.
---
[Bridge]
I still walk with shadows near,
Still carry pain from every year.
But your small hand, warm in mine,
Makes tomorrow less unkind.
---
[Final Chorus]
Embers at dusk, hope quietly burns,
Guiding the lost through each return.
Stay by my side, don’t let me part—
Little light, you’re all my heart.

[Outro – Gentle Instrumental, Fade Out]
[The melody lingers over visuals of Kaelith and Aelria walking under a violet sky, the stars coming out one by one, the last ember of their fire glowing quietly as the screen fades to black.]
